- Machine learning is one potential approach to modeling complex probability distributions.
- many examples are described with reference to medical applications, but one skilled in the art will recognize that techniques described herein can be readily applied in a variety of different fields including (but not limited to) health informatics, image/audio processing, marketing, sociology, and lab research.
- One of the most pressing problems is that one often has little, or no, labeled data that directly addresses a particular question of interest.
- a supervised learning setting one would give the therapeutic to many patients and observe how each patient responds. Then, one would use this data to build a model that predicts how a new patient will respond to the therapeutic.
- a nearest neighbor classifier would look through the pool of previously treated patients to find a patient that is most similar to the new patient, then it would predict the new patient's response based on the previously treated patient's response.
- supervised learning requires significant amounts of labeled data and, particularly where sample sizes are small or labeled data is not readily available, unsupervised learning is critical to the successful application of machine learning.
- medical data can include a variety of different types of information from a variety of different sources, including (but not limited to) demographic information (e.g., a patient's age, ethnicity, etc.), diagnoses (e.g., binary codes that describe whether or not a patient has a particular disease), laboratory values (e.g., results from laboratory tests, such as blood tests), doctor's notes (e.g., hand written notes taken by a physician or entered into a medical records system), images (e.g., x-rays. CT scans, MRIs, etc.), and 'omics data (e.g., data from DNA sequencing studies that describe a patient's genetic background, the expression of his/her genes, etc.).
- demographic information e.g., a patient's age, ethnicity, etc.
- diagnoses e.g., binary codes that describe whether or not a patient has a particular disease
- laboratory values e.g., results from laboratory tests, such as blood tests
- doctor's notes e.g
- Some of these data are binary, some are continuous, and some are categorical. Integrating all of these different types and sources of data is critical, but treating a variety of data types with traditional approaches to machine learning is quite challenging. Typically, the data have to be heavily pre-processed so that all of the features used for machine learning are of the same type. Data pre-processing steps can take up a large portion of an analyst's time in training and implementing a machine learning model.
- any algorithm needs to be able to learn from data where there are missing observations in the training set.
- the algorithm needs to be able to make predictions even when it is only presented with a subset of input observations. That is, one needs to be able to express any conditional relationship from the joint probability distribution.
- GANs Generative Adversarial Networks
- GANs in their traditional formulation, use a generator that transforms random Gaussian noise into a visible vector through a feed-forward neural network. Models with this formulation can be trained using the standard back-propagation process.
- GAN training tends to be unstable—requiring a careful balance between training of the generator and the discriminator (or critic).
- it is not possible to generate samples from arbitrary conditional distributions with GANs, and it can be very difficult to apply GANs to problems involving heterogeneous datasets with different data types and missing observations.
- Many embodiments of the invention provide novel and innovative systems and methods for the use of heterogeneous, irregular, and unlabeled data to train and implement stochastic, unsupervised machine learning models of complex probability distributions.

- BEAM Boltzmann Encoded Adversarial Machine
- phase I the therapeutic is given to healthy volunteers to assess it's safety.
- phase II the therapeutic is given to approximately 100 patients to obtain initial estimates for safety and efficacy.
- phase III the therapeutic is given to a few hundred to a few thousand patients to rigorously investigate the efficacy of the drug.
- phase II Before phase II, there is no in-human data on the effect of the investigational drug for the desired indication, making supervised learning impossible. After phase II, there is some in-human data on the effect of the investigational drug, but the sample size is quite limited, rendering supervised learning techniques ineffective. For comparison, a phase II clinical trial may have 100-200 patients, whereas a typical application of machine learning in computer vision may use millions of labeled images. As with many situations with limited data, the lack of large labeled datasets for many important problems implies that health informatics must heavily rely on methods for unsupervised learning.

- a(•) and b(•) are arbitrary functions, and ⁇ >0 and ⁇ >0 are scale parameters of the visible and hidden layers, respectively.
- Different functions are used to represent different types of data. Examples of layer types used for modeling various types of data are described below.
- Bernoulli Layer A Bernoulli layer is used to represent binary data v i ⁇ ⁇ 0, 1 ⁇ .
- An Ising layer is a symmetrized Bernoulli layer for visible units v i ⁇ ⁇ 1, +1 ⁇ .
- One-hot layers are commonly used to represent categorical variables.
- Gaussian Layer A Gaussian layer represents data where v i ⁇ .
- the bias function is
- a ⁇ ( v ) - ⁇ i ⁇ ( v i - v _ i ) 2 2 ⁇ ⁇ i 2 .
- Both the location, v i , and scale, ⁇ i , parameters of the layer are generally trainable. In practice, it helps to parameterize the model in terms of log ⁇ i to ensure that the scale parameter stays positive.
- ReLU Layer A Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) layer represents data where v i ⁇ with v i ⁇ v i low .
- a ReLU layer is essentially a one-sided truncated Gaussian layer. The bias function is
- a ⁇ ( v ) - ⁇ i ⁇ ( v i - v _ i ) 2 2 ⁇ ⁇ i 2 over the domain v i ⁇ v i low .
- v i the location, v i , and scale, ⁇ i , parameters of the layer are generally trainable whereas v i low is typically specified before training. In practice, it helps to parameterize the model in terms of log ⁇ i to ensure that the scale parameter stays positive.
- a Clipped Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) layer represents data where v i ⁇ with v i high ⁇ v i ⁇ v i low .
- a Clipped ReLU layer is essentially a two-sided truncated Gaussian layer. The bias function is
- a ⁇ ( v ) - ⁇ i ⁇ ( v i - v _ i ) 2 2 ⁇ ⁇ i 2 domain v i high ⁇ v i ⁇ v i low .
- v i high and v i low are typically specified before training. In practice, it helps to parameterize the model in terms of log ⁇ i to ensure that the scale parameter stays positive.
- Student-t Layer A Student-t distribution is similar to a Gaussian distribution, but has fatter tails. In a variety of embodiments, implementation of a Student-t layer is implicit.
- the layer has three parameters, a location parameter v i that controls the mean, a scale parameter v i that controls the variance, and a degrees of freedom parameter di that controls the thickness of the tails.
- the layer is defined by drawing a variance ⁇ i 2 ⁇ InverseGamma
- a ⁇ ( v ) - ⁇ i ⁇ ( v i - v _ i ) 2 2 ⁇ ⁇ i 2 .
- An Ordinal layer is a generalization of a Bernoulli layer that is used to represent integer valued data v i ⁇ ⁇ 0,N i ⁇ .

- exponential layers have some constraints because a i + ⁇ i W i ⁇ h ⁇ >0 for all values of the connected hidden units. Typically, this limits the types of layers that can be connected to an exponential layer, and requires ensuring that all of the weights are positive.
- a composite layer is not a mathematical object per se as was the case for the previously described layer types. Instead, a composite layer is a software implementation for combining multiple sub-layers of different types to create a meta-layer that can model heterogeneous data.

- DBMs Generalized Deep Boltzmann Machines
- Deep learning refers to an approach to machine learning where the model processes the data through a series of transformations. The goal is to enable the model to learn to construct appropriate features rather than requiring the researcher to craft features using prior knowledge.
- a generalized Deep Boltzmann Machine is essentially a stack of RBMs.
- a generalized DBM in accordance with some embodiments of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 9 .
- the generalized DBM 900 shows a visible layer 910 connected to a hidden layer 920 .
- Hidden layer 920 is further connected to another hidden layer 930 .
- the visible layer 910 is encoded to hidden layer 920 , which then operates like a visible layer for the next hidden layer 930 .
- a DBM can, in principle, be trained in the same way as an RBM.
- DBMs are often trained using a greedy layer-wise process. Examples of greedy layer-wise process are described in R. Salakhutdinov and G. Hinton, in Artificial Intelligence and Statistics (2009) pp. 448-455, which is incorporated by reference herein.
- forward layerwise training of a DBM proceeds by training a sequence of RBMs with energy functions:
- methods in accordance with many embodiments of the invention train DBMs in reverse—starting with the deepest hidden layer ht and working backwards towards v. This ensures that the deepest hidden layer must contain as much information about the visible layer as possible.
- the reverse layerwise training procedure makes use of the fact that a three layer DBM with connectivity v-h 1 -h 2 is the same as a two layer RBM with connectivity [v,h 2 ]-h 1 , allowing RBMs with Composite Layers to talk backwards down the connectivity graph of the DBM.
- Process 1000 trains ( 1005 ) a first RBM with connectivity v-h L .
- Process 1000 samples ( 1010 ) h L ⁇ p(h L
- the process then stacks ( 1015 ) v and h L into a vector [v, h L ] and trains ( 1020 ) a second RBM with connectivity [v, h L ]-h L-1 .
- Process 1000 determines ( 1025 ) whether [v, h 2 ]-h 1 has been reached. When it has not been reached, process 1000 returns to step 1005 .
- process 1100 determines that [v, h 2 ]-h 1 has been reached, the process copies ( 1030 ) the weights from each of these intermediate RBMs into their respective positions in the DBM. In some embodiments. DBMs can then be fine-tuned by regular end-to-end training.
- An autoregressive Boltzmann Machine is a DBM where the hidden layers have undirected edges connecting neighboring time points. As a result, an ADBM relates nodes to their previous timepoints.
- a generalized ADBM in accordance with some embodiments of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 11 .
- the generalized ADBM 1100 shows a visible layer 1110 at time t connected to a hidden layer 1120 , also at time t.
- Hidden layer 1120 is further connected to another hidden layer 1130 that incorporates data that is offset from time t by ⁇ .
- an ADBM is a model for entire sequences that describes the joint probability distribution p(v(0), . . . , v( ⁇ )).
- x(t) [v(t),h 1 (t), . . . , h L (t)] denote the state of all of the layers at time t.
- E DBM (x(t)) be the energy of a DBM given by
- ADBMs as described in the previous section, are able to capture correlations through time, but they are often unable to represent non-stationary distributions or distributions with drift. For example, most patients with a degenerative disease will tend to worsen over time—an effect that the ADBM cannot capture. To capture this effect, many embodiments of the invention implement a Generalized Conditional Boltzmann Machine (GCBM).
- GCBM Generalized Conditional Boltzmann Machine
- this model can be constructed from two DBMs.
- a non-time dependent DBM, p 0 can be trained on all of the data.
- a time dependent DBM can be trained on a Composite Layer created by joining all of the neighboring time points [v(t),v(t ⁇ 1)].
- the second DBM describes the joint distribution p(v(t),v(t ⁇ 1)), which makes it possible to compute both p(v(t)
- the second DBM can be trained on a Composite Layer that can be readily extended to include multiple time lags. e.g., [v(t),v(t ⁇ 1), . . . , v(t ⁇ n)].
- a machine learning model is generative if it learns to draw new samples from an unknown probability distribution.
- Generative models can be used to learn useful representations of data and/or to enable simulations of systems with unknown, or very complicated, mechanistic laws.
- a generative model defined by some model parameters ⁇ describes the probability of observing some variable v. Therefore, training a generative model involves minimizing a distance between the distribution of the data, p d (v), and the distribution defined by the model, p ⁇ (v).
- the traditional method for training a Boltzmann machine maximizes the log-likelihood, which is equivalent to minimizing the forward Kullback-Liebler (KL) divergence:
- the forward KL divergence, D KL (p d ⁇ p ⁇ ), accumulates differences between the data and model distributions weighted by the probability under the data distribution.
- the reverse KL divergence, D KL (p 74 ⁇ p d ), accumulates differences between the data and model distributions weighted by the probability under the model distribution.
- RBMs can be trained using a novel type of f-divergence as a discriminator divergence:
- the function that defines the discriminator divergence is
- a generator that is able to trick the discriminator so that p(data
- the discriminator divergence closely mirrors the reverse KL divergence and strongly punishes models that overestimate the probability of the data.
- BEAM Boltzmann Encoded Adversarial Machine
- FIG. 12 A process for training an adversarial model in accordance with some embodiments of the invention is conceptually illustrated in FIG. 12 .
- the process 1200 draws ( 1205 ) samples from a model, such as (but not limited to) Boltzmann machines such as those described above. Samples can be drawn from a model according to a variety of methods, including (but not limited to) k-steps Gibbs sampling and TDS.
- the process 1200 then computes ( 1210 ) gradients based on the drawn samples.
- Process 1200 trains ( 1215 ) a discriminator based on the drawn samples and computes an adversarial gradient based on the classification of the samples, as either drawn from the model or drawn from the data.
- the process 1200 then computes ( 1220 ) a full compound gradient and updates ( 1225 ) the model parameters using the full gradient.
- FIG. 13 presents some comparisons between Boltzmann machines trained to maximize log likelihood and those trained as BEAMs.
- the examples of this figure illustrate three multimodal data distributions: a bimodal mixture of Gaussians in 1-dimension ( 1310 ), a mixture of 8 Gaussians arranged in a circle in 2-dimensions ( 1320 ), and a mixture of 25. Gaussians arranged in a grid in 2-dimensions ( 1330 ). Problems similar to the 2-dimensional mixture of Gaussians examples are commonly used for testing GANs.
- the regular Boltzmann machine learns a model with a pretty good likelihood by spreading the probability over the support of the data distribution.
- the Boltzmann machines trained using as BEAMs learn to reproduce the data distributions very accurately.
- the first panel 1405 illustrates estimates of the forward KL divergence, D KL (p d ⁇ p ⁇ ), and the reverse KL divergence, D KL (p ⁇ ⁇ p d ), per training epoch.
- the first panel 1405 illustrates that training an RBM as a BEAM decreases both the forward and reverse KL divergences.
- the second panel 1410 illustrates distributions of fantasy particles at various epochs during training. In the early stages of training, the BEAM fantasy particles are spread out across the support of the data distribution capturing the modes near the edge of the grid. These early epochs resemble the distributions obtained with GANs, which also concentrate density in the modes near the edge of the grid. As training progresses, the BEAM progressively learns to capture the modes near the center of the grid.
- FIG. 15 An architecture of a Boltzmann Encoded Adversarial Machine (BEAM) in accordance with some embodiments of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 15 .
- the illustrated example shows two steps of the BEAM architecture.
- a generator e.g., an RBM
- Generators in accordance with a number of embodiments of the invention are trained to encode input data by passing the input data through the visible layer to be encoded in a set of nodes of a hidden layer.
- Generators in accordance with several embodiments of the invention are trained with an objective to generate realistic samples from a complex distribution.
- objective functions for training generators can include a contribution from an adversarial loss generated by a critic (or discriminator).
- a hidden layer of the generator feeds into a classifier of a discriminator (or critic) that evaluates the hidden layers to distinguish samples drawn from the data from samples drawn from the model using tied weights learned by the generator. Therefore, the discriminator (or adversary) is constructed by encoding the visible units using a single forward pass through the layers of the generator and then applying a classifier (e.g., logistic regression, nearest neighbor classifiers, and random forest) trained to discriminate between samples from the data and samples from the model.
- a classifier e.g., logistic regression, nearest neighbor classifiers, and random forest
- the adversary uses the same architecture and weights as the RBM, and encodes visible units into hidden unit activations. These hidden unit activations, computed for both the data and fantasy particles sampled from the RBM, are used by a critic to estimate the distance between the data and model distributions.
- the critic can be any function of the visible and hidden units.
- methods in accordance with several embodiments of the invention use a critic that is monotonically related to p(data
- the discriminator divergence suggests that one could use log p(data
- the optimal discriminator can be approximated as a function of the hidden units activations p(data
- the function g(•) could be implemented by a neural network, as in most GANs, or using a simpler algorithm such as a random forest or nearest neighbor classifier.
- a simple approximation to the optimal discriminator can be sufficient because the classifier can operate on the hidden unit activities of the RBM generator rather than the visible units. Therefore, the optimal critic can be approximated using nearest neighbor methods.
- p(x) is estimated at an arbitrary point x based on a k-nearest-neighbor estimate.
- methods in accordance with some embodiments of the invention fix some positive integer k and compute the k nearest neighbors to x in X.
- d k is defined to be the distance between x and the furthest of the nearest-neighbors and the density p(x) is estimated to be the density of the uniform distribution on a ball of radius d k . That is,
- X ⁇ v 1 , . . . , v 2N ⁇ be a collection of samples where exactly half are drawn from p ⁇ and half from p d .
- the nearest neighbors can be computed from a cached minibatch of samples from the model combined with a minibatch of samples from the training dataset.
- the distance-weighted nearest-neighbor critic is a generalization which adds some continuity to the nearest-neighbor critic by applying an inverse distance weighting to the ratio count. Specifically, let ⁇ d 0 , . . . , d k ⁇ be the distances of the k-nearest neighbors, with ⁇ d 0 , . . . , d j ⁇ the distances for the neighbors originating from the data samples and ⁇ d j+1 , . . . , d k ⁇ the distances for the neighbors originating from the model samples.
- the distance-weighted nearest-neighbor critic can be defined as:
- BEAMs use the RBM as both the generator and as a feature extractor for the adversary.
- this double-usage allows the reuse of a single set of fantasy particles for multiple steps of the training algorithm. Specifically, a single set of M persistent fantasy particles are updated k times per gradient evaluation. In many embodiments, the same set of fantasy particles are used to compute the log-likelihood derivative and the adversarial derivative. Then, these fantasy particles can replace the fantasy particles from the previous gradient evaluation in the nearest neighbor estimates of the critic value. Reusing the fantasy particles for each step means that BEAM training has roughly the same computational cost as training an RBM with PCD.
- the gradients of the log-likelihood and the adversarial term both involve expectation values with respect to the model distribution. Unfortunately, these expectation values cannot be computed exactly. As a result, the expectation values can be approximated using Monte Carlo methods or other approximations. The accuracy of these approximate gradients can have a significant effect on the utility of the resulting model. Different approaches to improving the accuracy of the approximate gradients in accordance with certain embodiments of the invention are described below.
- Drawing samples from a probability distribution is an important component of many processes for training models in accordance with many embodiments of the invention. This can often be done with a simple function call for many 1-dimensional distributions. However, random sampling from Boltzmann machines is much more complicated.
- Sampling from a Boltzmann machine is usually performed using Gibbs sampling.
- Gibbs sampling is a local sampling process, which means that successive samples are correlated.
- Drawing uncorrelated samples requires one to make many Gibbs sampling steps for each successive sample.
- drawing a batch of uncorrelated random samples from a Boltzmann machine can take a long time.
- a batch of random samples is required for each gradient update—if it takes a long time to generate each batch, it can make training a Boltzmann machine take such a long time that it becomes impractical. Therefore, methods that decrease the correlation between successive samples from a Boltzmann machine can greatly accelerate the learning process.
- the fictional temperature is useful because raising the temperature (i.e., decreasing ⁇ ) decreases the autocorrelation between samples.
- the initial energy is E(v,h).
- the intermediate configurations will have varying energies. If the maximal energy from these intermediate configurations is E max then the time to travel from (v,h) to (v′, h′) roughly scales as: ⁇ ⁇ e ⁇ (E max ⁇ E(v,h)) (24) Therefore, decreasing ⁇ will decrease the number of Gibbs sampling steps required to move between distant configurations.
- Processes in accordance with certain embodiments of the invention use a process called parallel tempering (in the machine learning and statistics literature) or replica exchange (in the physics community).
- parallel tempering in accordance with a variety of embodiments of the invention, multiple Gibbs sampling chains are run in parallel, each at a different temperature. Periodically, one attempts to swap the configurations of two chains. In several embodiments, the swap can be accepted or rejected based on a criterion (e.g., the Metropolis criterion) to ensure that entire system stays at equilibrium.
- a criterion e.g., the Metropolis criterion
- the process uses Temperature Driven Sampling (TDS), which greatly improves the ability to train Boltzmann machines without incurring significant additional computational cost.
- the inverse temperatures of each sample can be independently updated once for every Gibbs sampling iteration of the model.
- the updates are autocorrelated across time so that the inverse temperatures are slowly varying.
- An example of sampling from an autocorrelated Gamma distribution is described below.
- TDS includes a standard Gibbs sampling based sequential Monte Carlo sampler in the limit that Var[ ⁇ ] ⁇ 0.
- the samples drawn with TDS are not samples from the equilibrium distribution of the Boltzmann machine. In certain embodiments, the drawn samples are re-weighted to correct for the bias due to the varying temperature.
- Input Number of samples m. Number of update steps k. Autocorrelation coefficient for the inverse temperature 0 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 1. Variance of the inverse temperature Var[ ⁇ ] ⁇ 1.
- for i 1,..., m do
- TDS Temperature Driven Sampling improves sampling from a Boltzmann machine.
- GMM refers to samples from a Gaussian mixture model.
- GRBM refers to samples from the equivalent Boltzmann machine drawn using 10 steps of Gibbs sampling.
- TDS refers to samples from the equivalent Boltzmann machine drawn using TDS with 10 steps of Gibbs sampling.
- This example shows a Gaussian mixture model with three modes at ( ⁇ 1, 0, +1) with various standard deviations and using a simple construction to create an equivalent Boltzmann machine with a Gaussian visible layer and a One-hot hidden layer with 3 hidden units.
- the autocorrelation coefficient and the standard deviation of the inverse temperature were set to 0.9 and 0.95, respectively. All starting samples were initialized from the middle mode. Starting from the middle mode, regular Gibbs sampling is unable to sample from the neighboring modes after 10 steps when the modes are well separated TDS, by contrast, has fatter tails allowing for better sampling of the neighboring modes.
- TDS Temperature Driven Sampling
- a patient can be represented as a collection of information that describes their symptoms, their genetic information, results from diagnostic tests, any medical treatments they are receiving, and other information that may be relevant for characterizing their health.
- a vector containing this information about a patient is sometimes called a phenotype vector.
- a method for prognostic prediction in accordance with many embodiments of the invention uses past and current health information about a patient to predict a health outcome at a future time.
- a patient trajectory refers to a time series that describes a patient's detailed health status (e.g., a patient's phenotype vector) at various points in time.
- prognostic prediction takes in a patient's trajectory (i.e., their past and current health information) and makes a prediction about a specific future health outcome (e.g., the likelihood they will have a heart attack within the next 2 years).
- predicting a patient's future trajectory involves predicting all of the information that characterizes the state of their health at all future times.
- discrete time steps e.g., one month
- models for simulating patient trajectories use discrete time steps (e.g., one month).
- the length of the time step in accordance with a number of embodiments of the invention will be selected to approximately match the frequency of treatment.
- a model for patient trajectories in accordance with many embodiments of the invention describes the joint probability distribution of all points along the trajectory, p(v 0 , . . . , v T ).
- p(v 0 , . . . , v T ) can be used for prediction by sampling from the conditional probability distribution p(v ⁇ , . . . , v T
- the model is a Boltzmann machine, as they make it easy to express conditional distributions and can be adapted to heterogeneous datasets, but one skilled in the art will recognize that many of the processes described herein can be applied to other architectures as well.
- Clinical decision support systems provide information to patients, physicians, or other caregivers to help guide choices about patient care. Simulated patient trajectories provide insights into a patient's future health that can inform choices of care. For example, consider a patient with mild cognitive impairment. A physician or caregiver would benefit from knowing the risks that the patient's condition progresses to Alzheimer's disease, or that he or she begins to exhibit other cognitive or psychological systems. In certain embodiments, systems based on simulated patient trajectories can forecast these risks to guide care choices. Aggregating such predictions over a population of patients can also help estimate population level risks, enabling long-term planning by organizations, such as elder care facilities, that act as caregivers to large groups of patients.
- a set of patient trajectories is collected from electronic medical records (also known as real world data), from natural history databases, or clinical trials.
- the patient trajectories in accordance with many embodiments of the invention can be normalized and used to train a time-dependent Boltzmann machine.
- these simulated trajectories can be analyzed to understand the risks associated with specific outcomes (e.g., Alzheimer's diagnosis) at various future times.
- models that are trained on data with treatment information would contain variables that describe treatment choices. Such a model could be used to assess how different treatment choices would change the patient's future risks by comparing simulated outcome risks conditioned on different treatments.
- a caretaker or physician can treat a patient based on the treatment choices and/or the simulated trajectories.
- Randomized Clinical Trials are the gold-standard for evidence in assessing therapeutic efficacy.
- each patient is randomly assigned to one of two study arms: a treatment arm where the patients are treated with an experimental therapy, and a placebo arm where the patients receive a dummy treatment and/or the current standard of care.
- a statistical analysis is performed to determine if patients in the treatment arm were more likely to respond positively to the new therapy than patients in the placebo arm were to respond to the dummy therapy.
- RCTs need to include a large number of patients. For example, it is not uncommon for Phase III clinical trials to include thousands of patients. Recruiting the large number of patients necessary to achieve sufficient power is challenging, and many clinical trials never meet their recruitment goals. Although there is, almost by definition, little-to-no data about an experimental therapy there is likely a lot of data about the efficacy of the current standard of care. Therefore, one way to reduce the number of patients needed for clinical trials is to replace the control arm with a synthetic control arm that contains virtual patients simulated from a Boltzmann machine trained to model the current standard of care.
- Methods in accordance with several embodiments of the invention use simulations to create a synthetic, or virtual, control arm for a clinical trial by training a Boltzmann machine using data from the control arms of previous clinical trials.
- data sets can be constructed by aggregating data from the control arms of multiple clinical trials for a chosen disease. Then, Boltzmann machines can be trained to simulate patients with that disease under the current standard of care. This model can then be used to simulate a population of patients with particular characteristics (e.g., age, ethnicity, medical history) to create a cohort of simulated patients that match the inclusion criteria of new trial.
- each patient in the experimental arm can be matched to a simulated patient with the same baseline measurements by simulating from the appropriate conditional distribution of the Boltzmann machine. This can provide a type of counterfactual (i.e., what would have happened to this patient if they had been given a placebo rather than the experimental therapy). In either case, data from simulated patients can be used to supplement, or in place of, data from a concurrent placebo arm using standard statistical methods in accordance with many embodiments of the invention.
- value based care means that the cost of a drug will be based on how effective it is, rather than a simple cost per pill. As a result, governments and other payers need to be able to compare the effectiveness of alternative therapies.
- Simulations in accordance with many embodiments of the invention provide an alternative approach for performing head-to-head trials.
- detailed individual level data from clinical trials of each drug can be included in the training data for a Boltzmann machine.
- samples generated with a Boltzmann machine, such as a BEAM can be used to simulate a head-to-head clinical trial between A and B.
- individual level data are not usually released for the experimental arms of clinical trials.
- aggregate level data from the experimental arms in accordance with a number of embodiments of the invention can be used to adjust a model that was trained on control arm data.
- the human genome encodes for more than 20 thousands genes that engage in an incredibly complex network of interactions. This network of genetic interactions is so complex that it is intractable to develop a mechanistic model linking genotype to phenotype. Therefore, studies that aim to predict a phenotype from genomic information have to use machine learning methods.
- a common goal of a genomic study in the clinical setting is predicting whether or not a patient will respond to a given therapeutic.
- data describing gene expression e.g., from messenger RNA sequencing experiments
- the response of each patient to the therapeutic is recorded at the end of the trial, and a mathematical model (e.g., linear or logistic regression) is trained to predict the response of each patient from their baseline gene expression data.
- Successful prediction of patient response would enable the sponsor of the clinical trial to use a genomic test to narrow the study population to a subset of patients where the drug is most likely to be successful. This improves the likelihood of success in a subsequent phase-Ill trial, while also improving patient outcomes through precision medicine.
- phase-II clinical trials tend to be small (200 people).
- sequencing experiments used to measure gene expression are still fairly expensive.
- the standard task involves training a regression model with up to 20 thousand features (i.e., the expression of the genes) using less than 200 measurements.
- a linear regression model is underdetermined if the number of features is greater than the number of measurements.
- raw gene expression values are combined into a smaller number of composite features.
- individual genes interact as parts of biochemical pathways, so one approach is to use known biochemical information to derive scores that describe the activation of pathways. Then, pathway activation scores can be used as features instead of raw expression values.
- pathway activation scores can be used as features instead of raw expression values.
- Deep Boltzmann Machines are implemented as a tool for unsupervised feature learning that may be useful for 'omics studies.
- Let v be a vector containing gene expression values determined from an experiment.
- the model in accordance with many embodiments of the invention can be trained without labels; therefore, in some embodiments, a large data set can be compiled by combining many different studies.
- h L v ⁇ dh 1 . . . dh L h L p(h 1 , . . . , h L
- Predicting the effect that a change in the activity, or expression, of a gene will have in-human is important for both drug design and drug development. For example, if one could predict the effect that a compound will have in-human then one could perform high-throughput computational screens for drug discovery. Similarly, if one could predict the effect that an investigational drug will have on different types of patients then one could optimize patient selection for phase II clinical trials even though there is no direct data on the action of the drug in-human.
- transcriptomic responses are predicted using a generative model of gene expression.
- v be a vector of raw gene expression values and let p ⁇ (v) be a model of the distribution of gene expression values that is parameterized by ⁇ .
- the model is parameterized such that ⁇ i is related to the mean value of v i , such that increasing (or decreasing) ⁇ i leads to an increase (or decrease) in v i .
- the effect of a drug that decreases the activity of gene i is simulated by decreasing ⁇ i and computing the change in
- the utility of generative models in accordance with several embodiments of the invention relies on the ability of the model to implicitly learn interactions between gene expression values. That is, the model must know that decreasing the activity of gene i using a therapeutic will—via a complex network of interactions—lead to a decrease in the expression of some other gene j.
- DBMs as described in previous sections of this application are used as a generative model that implicitly (i.e., without trying to construct a mechanistic understanding of biochemical pathways or other methods of direct gene interaction) learns interaction between genes.
- DBMs trained on gene expression data in a fully unsupervised manner do not have a notion of an individual patient. Instead, the vector of observations v can be broken into two pieces: the vector of gene expression values x and a vector of metadata y.
- predictions for individual patients in accordance with several embodiments of the invention can use a notion of locality in gene expression space.
- y): ⁇ log p ⁇ (x
- y) define the energy x given y.
- this also involves integrating over all the hidden layers.
- local measures of gene interactions can be computed from the derivatives of evaluated at x.

Abstract
Description
p(v,h)=Z −1 e −E(v,h), (1)
Here, E(v,h) is called the energy function, and Z=∫dvdhe−E(v,h) is called the partition function. In many embodiments, processes use the integral operator. ∫dx, to denote both standard integration or a sum over all of the elements in a discrete set.
or, in vector notation, E(v,h)=−aTv−bTh−vTWh. Notice that visible units interact with the hidden units through the weights, W. However, there are no visible-visible or hidden-hidden interactions.
Similarly, it is easy to compute the conditional moments.
However, it is generally very difficult to compute statistics from the joint distribution. As a result, statistics from the joint distribution have to be estimated using random sampling processes such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC).
In the standard formulation of an RBM, there are three parameters a, b, and W. The derivatives are:
Input: Initial configuration (v,h). | |
A number of Monte Carlo steps, k. | |
An RBM. | |
Output: A new configuration (v′,h′). | |
set v0 = v, h0 = h; | |
for i = 1,...,k do | |
| draw hi ~ p(h|vi−1); | |
| draw vi ~ p(v|hi); | |
end | |
return (vk,hk) | |
where a(•) and b(•) are arbitrary functions, and σ>0 and ε>0 are scale parameters of the visible and hidden layers, respectively. Different functions (called layer types) are used to represent different types of data. Examples of layer types used for modeling various types of data are described below.

The upper value Ni is specified ahead of time.
where the outputs of the previous RBM are used as the inputs of the next RBM. It can be difficult to get information from the data distribution to propagate into the deep layers of the model when training a DBM in this forward layerwise way. As a result, it is generally difficult to train DBMs with more than a couple of hidden layers.
The energy function of the ADBM is:
For simplicity, this has been illustrated with a single autoregressive connection connecting the last hidden layer with its previous value. However, one skilled in the art will recognize that this model can be extended to include multiple time delays or inter-temporal connections between layers.
that the sample v was drawn from the data distribution. Therefore, the discriminator divergence can be written as
D D(p d ∥p θ)=−log 2−∫dvp θ(v)log(p(data|v)) (16)
to show that it measures the probability that the optimal discriminator will incorrectly classify a sample drawn from the model distribution as coming from the data distribution.
which is convex with f(1)=0, as required. It can be shown that the discriminator divergence upper bounds the reverse KL divergence:

which includes a contribution from adversarial term. , from a critic. Adversarial terms in accordance with a number of embodiments of the invention can be defined as
:=∫dvdhp θ(v,h)T(v,h). (19)
where T(v,h) is a critic function. In some embodiments, the adversary uses the same architecture and weights as the RBM, and encodes visible units into hidden unit activations. These hidden unit activations, computed for both the data and fantasy particles sampled from the RBM, are used by a critic to estimate the distance between the data and model distributions.
where ε is a small parameter that regularizes the inverse distance.
However, the estimates may have a high variance when N is small. On the other hand, mean field estimates such as those derived from the Thouless-Andersen-Palmer (TAP) expansion are analytic and have zero variance, but have a bias that can be difficult to control. Let f(ω)=ωfMC+(1−ω)fMF be an estimate created from a convex combination of a Monte Carlo estimate fMC and a mean field estimate fMF. It is easy to show that Bias2[f]=(1−ω)2Bias2 [fMF] and Var[f]=ω2Var[fMC] so that the mean squared error of f is MSE[f]=Bias2[f]+Var[f]=(1−ω)2Bias2[fMF]+ω2Var[fMC]. Therefore, one can generally choose a value of w to minimize the mean squared error of the combined estimator.
